[Koha] Unexpected behaviour 942 $h (3.18)

We're running 3.18.02
I reported the same problem in 3.14, but it was intermittent.  Now it's
back again.

When editing a catalogue record, we manually type in the contents of the
942$h (call number).  This is usually the last thing that is added before
saving the record, otherwise we might not have seen what happens next.
After hitting save, and before the item record comes up, a space and
numeral 1 magically appear after the call number, completely without our
input.

Here it is in a record - the call number should be only "QM" as it is in
the 099 field. It appears to be adding 0001 in the  942 $6 which we have
set to ignore. If the 1 is successfully deleted from the $h, the 0001 also
vanishes from $6.

including bass parts in some cases. The name P. M. Hooton is on the front
cover, probably Miss P. M. Hooton of Norwich who was an EFDS member in the
1920s.

Note: it seems to be happening on every other save.  In other words, edit a
record once, it's fine. Go back in and edit it again, and the 1 appears.
Edit it a third time to delete the 1 and it's fine.  This is driving my
colleagues to distraction.  Any thoughts?
